Sunday Oct 13th is the 4th Annual Champlain Valley Buddy Walk in Burlington, VT. Those who have a child with Down syndrome or who have known a person with Down syndrome or want to simply support their friends and neighbors are welcome to join the Buddy Walk.

Registration and festivities (snacks and mingling) start at 12 noon at Burlington's Battery Park near the concrete bandshell. The Walk itself will start at 1pm and wind its way down Church St and back again. The registration fee is $10 per individual, and family registration will not exceed $40. To register, please visit http://www.cvdsg.org, and under Events look for Buddy Walk 2013 and click through to registration page (in google docs).

Buddy Walks are being held all over the US this fall. "It's very important to raise awareness and make a difference for people with Down syndrome by participating in a Buddy Walk. The focus is not on our disabilities, but on our abilities that count," said Actor and NDSS Goodwill Ambassador Chris Burke.
